with strong support from the united states, france, and russia, the iaea put forward a creative offer to produce nuclear fuel using iran's own low enriched uranium. it was an offer with humanitarian benefits, ensuring that iran would meet its need for medical isotopes. it gave iran the opportunity to show that its nuclear program was for peaceful purposes. it would have built confidence on both sides in the possibility of further agreements. in addition, the united states went to great lengths to demonstrate our commitment and establish assurances for iran. to date, we have seen no indication that iran's leaders want to resolve these issues constructively. after initially accepting it, they rejected the tehran research reactor proposal. they have refused to discuss their nuclear program with the p5+1. the revelation of a previously covert enrichment site, construction of which further violated iran's npt obligations, fed further suspicion about iran's intentions. iran recently increased the enrichment levels of its uranium to 20 percent. all the while, iran continues to brutally repre
